We get it, and we’re eager to help. Our collaborative design approach starts with an interview to understand what matters most to you. Through several drafts of sketches, scaled drawings and installation pricing, we offer clarity and guidance to develop a plan that aligns with your lifestyle, budget and vision. And because we have hands-on landscaping experience, we only design what can be realistically executed.

Whether you’re building a new home and require a master plan, or have simply decided it’s time to spruce up your yard and could use some design insight from a knowledgeable contractor, Green Ideas can design the landscape of your dreams.

Please note: During our peak season of March to December we offer design services exclusively for our own installations, and are unable to offer stand alone designs for DIY projects.

Green Ideas can create plans for new construction “blank slate” properties, as well as renovations of established sites, expansions of existing outdoor spaces, and even individual garden beds.

With a deep understanding of construction technique, we have experience implementing plans provided by landscape architects, and advising home builders on grading and excavation planning to accommodate your landscaping vision.

We work with Nova Scotia’s preferred nurseries to incorporate exciting plant specimens and native plant varieties that suit your aesthetic, gardening style, and site conditions.

A plan is especially important if work is to be executed in stages. Taking into consideration your budget, future site accessibility and integral primary elements, we can develop a plan designed to provide enjoyment now and gradual implementation over several years.
